I don't have a Falcon, Bob

I could have sworn you did. Never mind. They look very nice in green. I think they call it Envy Green

Nothing there for me as I already have 5 64xx panniers, so after the Newton Chambers car carriers and the vanwides my wallet is having a rest. having said that I suppose the Rapido iron minks can't be too far away....

Generally nothing of interest for me, only really want locos (Southern specifically) or potential chassis to make my own.

Top of my list would be a new loco driven 4-4-0

New Std 4MT 2-6-0
along with it in 4-6-0

Any retooled engines from the Poole era would also be of interest as long as I can use them for something else.

So to be positive what might I most welcome from Farish , or Dapol if they were so minded.  I  would buy the Craven DMU in green and blue given Revolution's comment to me that Farish already have a good basis for another 57 ft unit.  They were widely used so not so niche to my Scottish interests as a Class 100 DMU, J36 or Glen, the Sad Eyes 21 and 29.   And since they have totally revamped other items from Poole days, the Crab and 25/3 was also widely used across LMS territory - including Scotland!

With reference to the forthcoming Bachmann/Farish Class 47s - it would be rather nice to see a model of one of the Stratford-based Class 47 locos that carried the silver roofs and the very large Union Flag at the time of the Silver Jubilee in 1977. 
[I'm firmly a Western Region / Southern Region modeller (North Cornwall 1959-63), but could be tempted by one one of those Stratford 47s...]

Oh.

More Panniers...

They have already done that Stratford Union Jack 47 in a wooden box along with a Silver Jubilee steam locomotive as part of the Bachmann 25 years celebrations (1989-2014) and was set 370-2014.
They come up on EBay every so often, sometimes split from the set, sometimes not.
Peters Spares will sell you the box (empty) for £25!

Happy hunting

I really really want them to do a Southern 4-6-0.

I don't want one, but at least then @Bob G and others could stop moaning

Must read correctly.

I thought Farish had announced a new 25 then.
